Drones, Tecnologia e a Normalização do Excecionalismo na Segurança Internacional Contemporânea O artigo foca-se na normalização e institucionalização de medidas de segurança (que antes eram excecionais) e os correspondentes desafios aos fundamentos constitucionais das democracias ocidentais. Argumenta-se que os mecanismos de responsabilização jurídica e política são crescentemente postos em causa pelos desenvolvimentos tecnológicos, com inerente impacto nas práticas securitárias. Os desenvolvimentos tecnológicos ocorrem a um ritmo bem mais elevado do que os necessários ajustamentos jurídicos e constitucionais, e este desajustamento pode ser critico. ; info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion

Since September 2001, the European Union (EU) has developed a cross-institutional, multilevel and multifaceted approach to the fight against terrorism in parallel with efforts to build a strategic concept regarding its security identity. EU counter-terrorism encompasses instruments of different natures and the participation of several institutions and agencies, gathering a wide range of different policy areas. Over the last decade, the EU has emerged as a relevant counter-terrorism actor in Europe encompassing both internal and external instruments. EU action in countering terrorism is developed together with a legal dimension whose importance has been reinforced by the action of the Court of Justice of the European Union and the European Parliament. The article combines sociological institutionalist theory with constitutionalism to present elements for an innovative assessment of the EU as a counter-terrorism actor in Europe. It draws on policy and judicial developments from the last 14 years, and it argues that the constitutional foundations of the EU contribute decisively to the definition and mode of action of its counter-terrorism policy. This process distinguishes EU action on counter-terrorism particularly from other international counter-terrorism actors and adds new elements to assessing EU's actorness in the broader field of security.

Den Europæiske Union (EU) begyndte i september 2001 udviklingen af en tværinstitutionel og multifacetteret tilgang til terrorbekæmpelse. Denne proces er forløbet parallelt med bestræbelserne på at opbygge en strategisk sikkerhedsidentitet for EU. EU's terrorbekæmpelse omfatter forskellige typer instrumenter og involverer deltagelse af adskillige institutioner og organer, der således samler en bred vifte af forskellige politikområder. Med udviklingen det seneste årti er EU blevet en relevant aktør i terrorbekæmpelsen i Europa. EU's indsats i forhold til terrorbekæmpelse har endvidere en retslig dimension, hvis betydning er blevet forstærket af EU-Domstolen og Europa-Parlamentets indsats. Denne artikel kombinerer sociologisk institutionel teori og konstitutionalisme i en vurdering af EU's rolle som europæisk terrorbekæmpelsesaktør. Artiklen inddrager de seneste 14 års politiske og juridiske udvikling og hævder, at EU's forfatningsmæssige grundlag har afgørende betydning for terrorbekæmpelsens karakter og virkemåde. I den forstand adskiller EU's terrrorbekæmpelsesindsats sig væsentligt fra andre internationale aktører, og det bringer nye elementer i spil i forhold til vurderingen af EU's rolle i et bredere sikkerhedsperspektiv.
